I tried to converse in a style I thought they would appreciate but they appear to be circling the wagons.<BR/><BR/>It’s funny really as many of them confess to being unbelievers at some stage so you would think they may see me as someone who is redeemable. I will change my opinion when presented with a reasonable argument..<BR/><BR/>Another point I sought to make in my first comment was completely ignored as well and that was if God is an actual sentient being capable of intervening in the affairs of mankind then why can we not confront him about his inaction when innocents suffer. He could be likened to a man walking away from a drowning person even though there was an alarm or life ring close at hand. Some might consider it criminal negligence. Of course to me he is metaphorical and so incapable of answering but to the bobbleheads he is apparently real but mystical. It’s a mystery why he just walked away and let that man drown or that child starve. It’s a mystery that they could equate neglect with love.AngloAmerikanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002362092073890146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10199920.post-1162009593646411232006-10-28T00:26:00.000-04:002006-10-28T00:26:00.000-04:00AA, they totally ignored your comment.

I needed to expose the soft underbelly of Atheism to draw an attack. You see, I have always believed that Atheism should not be for general consumption - a little bit like homosexuality, once it is common it loses its appeal and becomes banal. It’s not for the common man who wouldn’t know a Buddha from an Olympian. Real Atheists need to have a good understanding of religion and its origins. Real Atheists have journeyed through the landscape of the Divine and rejected it because of its callous cruelty and frankly monstrous gods. Ironically the Atheist struggles with God and then realizes that he is struggling against something that has no intelligence, no morals, no sympathy and no substance. This realization is another milestone on the journey to the end of the Way. Not for nothing is Buddhism sometimes described as an atheistic religion.<BR/><BR/>Enlightenment is approached upon realizing that omnipotence is not what it is superficially supposed to be but almost it’s very opposite. The Infinite is not cruel or kind - it is indifferent to suffering and unaware of its creativity yet it created kindness. God is absolutely an ideal and can only be ‘seen’ reflected through the mind of man and nothing else. The Bible alludes to this when it states, “we peer through a glass darkly.” The mind of man is the only mirror through which absolutes can be defined and this helps to make man himself divine.<BR/><BR/> Notions of divinity, gods and demons, exist in the imagination of man. There is the world, to be sure, but more real than the world itself with all its animate and inanimate objects is the landscape of the human mind – here monsters and gods dwell, in our dreams and nightmares and our waking moments, ready to leap from one mind to another.AngloAmerikanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002362092073890146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10199920.post-1161961578792040852006-10-27T11:06:00.000-04:002006-10-27T11:06:00.000-04:00Thanks . . .
